If a fastapi.Response is returned, the template is skipped and the response along with status_code and other values is directly passed through. This is common for redirects and error responses not meant for this page template. Brian #2: Django REST API in a single file, without using DRF Adam Johnson He’s been on Test & Code a couple times, 128 & 135 Not sure if you should do this, but it is possible. Example Django app that is a REST API that gives you information about characters from Rick & Morty. Specifically, just Rick and Morty. / - redirects to /characters/ /characters/ - returns a JSON list /characters - redirects to /characters/ /characters/1 - returns JSON info about Rick /characters/2 - same, but for Morty Shows off how with Django off the shelf, can do redirects and JSON output. Shows data using dataclasses. Hardcoded here, but easy to see how you could get this data from a database or other part of your system. Michael #3: 2020 StackOverflow survey results Most Popular Technologies Languages: JavaScript (68%), Python (44%), Java(40%) Web frameworks: Just broken, jQuery? Seriously!?! Databases: MySQL (56%), PostgreSQL (36%), Microsoft SQL Server (33%), MongoDB (26%) Platforms: Windows (46%), macOS (28%), Linux(27%) Most loved languages: Rust, TypeScript, Python Most wanted languages: Python, JavaScript, Go Most dreaded language: VBA & ObjectiveC Most loved DBs: Redis (67%), PostgreSQL (64%), Elasticsearch (59%), MongoDB (56%) Most wanted DBs: MongoDB (19%), PostgreSQL (16%) Most dreaded DB: DB2 Brian #4: A Visual Guide to Regular Expression Amit Chaudhary Gentle introduction to regex by building up correct mental models using visual highlighting. Goes through different patterns: specific character white space (any whitespace \s, tab \t, newline \n) single-digit number \d word characters \w : lowercase, uppercase, digits, underscore this sometimes throws me, since w seems like it might somehow be related to whitespace. It’s not. dot . : anything except newline pattern negations: \d is digits, \D is anything that is not a digit \s whitespace, \S not whitespace \w word characters, \W everything else character sets with square brackets [], and optionally dash - for range anchors ^ beginning of line $ end of line escaping patterns with \ repetition with {}, *, +, ? Using Python re module findall match and match.group search Michael #5: Taking credit by Tim Nolet Oh @awscloud I really do love you! But next time you fork my OS project https://github.com/checkly/headless-recorder and present it as your new service, give the maintainers a short "nice job, kids" or something. Not necessary as per the APLv2 license, but still, ya know? Amazon CloudWatch Synthetics launches Recorder to generate user flow scripts for canaries A Chrome browser extension, to help you create canaries more easily. Brian #6: Raspberry Pi 400 “complete personal computer, built into a compact keyboard” by itself, or as a kit with mouse and power adapter and cables and such, for $100 4 core, 64-bit processor, 4 GB RAM, wifi & LAN, can drive 2 displays, 4K video 40-pin GPIO header, so you can still play with hardware and such. There’s an adafruit video with Limor Fried where she describes this as something as close as we get today to an Apple IIe from my youth. For me, IIe was at school, at home I had a TRS80 plugged into an old TV and using my sisters tape deck for disk storage. This seems great for education use, but also as a second computer in your house, or a kids computer. Comes with a Beginner’s Guide that includes getting started with Python Extras: Brian: vim-adventures.com - with a dash. Practice vim key bindings while playing an adventure game. Super cool.
